Förfarande för att förminska effektförbrukningen av en trådlös terminal, dataöverföringssystem och trådlös terminal

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the power consumption of a wireless terminal (MT1-MT4) communicating with an access point (AP1, AP2). In the method, the wireless terminal (MT1-MT4) is set to dormancy. An in-operation message (408) is transmitted at intervals from the wireless terminal (MT1-MT4) to the access point (AP1, AP2), wherein the wireless terminal is set in an active state for transmitting the in-operation message (408). In the method, the wireless terminal is returned to dormancy substantially immediately after the transmission of the in-operation message (408).
